EVER YOURS is a beautifully constructed “Beauty and the Beast” theme. I was so impressed with the characters of Ivy and Auburn. How Ivy convinces that she only sees beauty when she looks into Auburn’s face is so heartwarming. Within the first few chapters of this book, I knew that I was positively in love with the story. Gabi Anderson, stand up and take a bow, you have took a unique spin on a beloved fairytale romance and turned it into a thing that shines is own special beauty.
